wow... the Republican vote is the more interesting one tonight
It was pretty widely beleived that McCain would coast tonight. That seems not to be the case - Huckabee is doing surprisingly well, and Romney could pull out some upsets. Interesting...

34. You can't explain?
My suspicion is that you were arguing with my avatar, and that's just dumb.

3. They don't know whether they are coming or going this year
They're going to have a very tough time deciding on a nominee, let alone getting behind him, come November.

This is our year. :toast:

6. I know!! I'm watching the GA Repub vote closely.
I wonder how Huckabee plays outside the bible belt.

12. well I'm not heavily invested in who wins the Dem side
I like both candidates. I prefer one over the other.

The republican race is very surprising to me.

11. I'm not sure the Republican race is anywhere near over.
I don't think it will be decided tonight.

Not that I'm some infallible oracle or anything.

26. That's what it seems like
I thought it would be, though. I thought McCain had it locked up.

16. Huckabee only won ...
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 08:01 PM by Drifter
WV because McCains supporters were told to vote Huckabee in the second ballot (no clear winner in the first ballot).
McCain figures that he can afford to lose one as long as it is not won by Romney.

Cheers

29. It goes way beyond WV
Huckabee seems to be doing very well throughout the south.

19. I'm happy to see
it if McCain is not coronated outright. Make Mitwit spend his money. Make Huckabible babble on about divine intervention. Make McCain tired.

Works for me!!!!! Yay!

this is getting very interesting. Even *I* thought McCain was a shoo-in now, after saying for months that Huckabee would get it.

27. Not just the surprise that things are just tied up for McCain, but the name
calling is big fun, too. Huckabee calling Mittens a whiner is priceless!

28. That was awesome!
I can't help it, but I like Huckabee. He's a nutcase, but he makes me laugh.

And I really wanna see Romney react to stuff like that - he's a shrill, brittle man who can't handle the pressures of a real race.

32. I agree. I don't want Huckabee with his finger on the button, but he
sure keeps me amused. And he certainly gives McCain a run for his money in regards to "straight talk".

Mittens is the perfect nickname for Romney. Reminds me of a small kitten, mewling and crying.
